Jeff Bezos, Mr. Amazon, was a precocious kid who once told his grandmother, who was fond of smoking, how to calculate the number of days of life lost by smoking. She was not amused and she told him
IT IS HARDER TO BE KIND THAN CLEVER.
Think about it, we pay attention to clever people and very often neglect people who are kind. The society rewards CLEVER people but lays aside the KIND ones.
Dalai Lama was quoted as saying
If you wish to make another person happy, BE COMPASSIONATE
If you wish to make yourself happy, BE COMPASSIONATE .
the second piece of advice came from SADHGURU who was giving his end of the year lecture from India
UNHAPPY people are unwilling to change whereas HAPPY people are willing to change their behaviour, but it is the UNHAPPY people who need to change.
Alain de Boton the British philosopher had said: If you pride yourself being SUCCESSFUL, remember you are a failure at many other things. You call yourself successful by the rules set by the society you live in .
